About 2 weeks = ago, they started constructing a nest on the other side of the building on = another column. Then, when the nest was complete, they went over to the = old nest and refurbished it and now the female, I presume, is sitting on = that nest. I know that wrens make multiple nests but I've never heard of = this behavior in phoebes. Has anyone else encountered this before?
